Sissoko says "hold my Beer"

I swear that fucking cunt Mané had no intention of actually playing a purposeful ball into the box - he just saw Sissoko's arm out and chanced it to take advantage.
:avbfacepalm:
 
He keeps possession and makes it look easy he is the glue that holds a midfield together - that’s why he started the biggest game in our history despite being 3 weeks post groin surgery and why he was considered by many to be our motm in said biggest game in our history

He did alright, but he certainly didn't boss it.
I challenge you to show us some footage of Winks hitting a man over the top, curling one around the flanks, or switching play across the field.
We will not be competing for anything with a CM of Winks and Sissoko.
 
Real Madrid have spent €255,000,000 already this summer and Bale is refusing to leave.

We really gonna see them spend nearly €400,000,000!?

That is not his role in the team - we’ve just played in the final of the champions league but you are right we won’t challenge with them in the team
 
Management sees a player struggling and wants to get him back to his best.
And derelict management allows a player to be an unquestioned starter for 3 years with no improvement in their game. Dele's 'ascension' has not been handled ideally. At 19 he should have never been allowed to become an unquestioned starter. Now instead of growing on a gradual, but consistent climb he has had a fall.
Back to his best huh? What is his 'best'? How will he get there? If he has not improve 1 thing about his game in 4 years what makes you believe there is a 'best' to get back to? Do you not want to evolve as a team? Or do you want to go back to 15/16 of 80 minutes of bumbling and hoping for a goal at the death?

Simple question: Has Dele improved one thing about his game in 4 years? Very simple question. If not then it's time for folks to see him for what he is not what the goals made you believe he was ie world class (tm). And going into next year hoping to recapture the 'class' that folks believe he has instead of actively planning an alternative would again be derelict.
